Everything was wonderful. Clean and neat. All of the kitchen supplies were of good quality. There was plenty of cleaning supplies, and paper goods. There was even some extra nice touches, like a bottle of wine for us.

I cannot adequately describe how wonderfully relaxing our stay was at Jeremy and Courtney’s place! The cabin is charming, tastefully decorated, and sparkling clean. Jeremy and Courtney are the ultimate hosts. They make you feel welcome even before you get there. They are extremely responsive and a joy with whom to work.

Although there is a lot to do in the area, we chose to just hang out in the cabin together with our sons, spending quality time as a family. We also used the community pool, sauna and jacuzzi and went to the pub one evening and enjoyed good food and a live musician. A fantastic, no stress weekend.

A couple of us were in town for an event. We really enjoyed our stay in this cute, clean cottage. The owners were very helpful, providing helpful information on site as well as by email prior to our arrival. I would highly recommend this cottage for a quiet getaway with family or friends.

I cannot say enough good things about Jeremy and Courtney's cottage at the Woods. While it was a community of homes, you have all the privacy you could want for a secluded weekend - so the advantage of having your own space but also being not being too remote. The cottage has the perfect amount of space inside and tons of exterior space with 2 decks and a screened in porch. It was wonderful to go to a home and only have to worry about your personal belongings, rather than having to bring every little thing - Jeremy and Courtney's house literally felt like a home away from home. Essentials were stocked, bedding was provided, all the kitchen necessities were readily available. The location is also perfect; not far from local pubs, restaurants, grocery stores; great hiking and walking trails literally from the cottage. There was a festival while we were there, with local artisans, live music, great food - it was perfect! And just like the cottage/area, Jeremy and Courtney could not have been better hosts. They were incredibly responsive from the moment of booking all the way through the stay. They sent absolutely wonderful recommendations for hikes, meals, all the information we could possibly need, extended communication during the stay, checked in while we were there to make sure everything was OK and wished us a good weekend, and I was even surprised with a basket of goodies for my birthday. Thank you so much, Jeremy and Courtney, for the wonderful hospitality and for letting us stay with you. It was the best birthday weekend I could have imagined and we would love to stay with you again!
